Brantford Smoke

The Brantford Smoke were a professional ice hockey team in the Colonial Hockey League, later the United Hockey League, now known as the International Hockey League. They played in Brantford, Ontario from 1991-92 (the league's inaugural season) until 1997-98, playing home games at the Brantford Civic Centre.
